  • Re-create welfare into a help up, rather than a hand out (more tax reform)

    We have changed from an independent manufacturing society to a dependent service/servant society. This has lead to the greatest number of unemployed since the Great Depression. With those working making less and less, we are running out of funding for our welfare programs. Corporations should be held responsible for the damage they are doing to the American economy. Unemployment should be taxed to these companies until work can be found. Fix the tax system to provide for America without punishing working Americans. Education or vocational should be provided for those that cannot find work. For those that can physically/mentally work, there should be no excuse for a lack of personal progress.

  • Make it easier for third parties to get into offices of government.

    Our present two party system has been a failure. In just eight years, one party was able to increase U.S. debt $4 trillion. In just one year, the other party was able to increase our debt by $2 trillion. When we vote the old out, they are replaced with people who are not any better.

  • Focus on technology

    Net neutrality, green technology and space exploration should be of top priority to keep the American economy healthy and strong. We should be leaders in these fields, not followers. There is no reason we should be renting shuttles from another country to get our people into space. We put the first man on the moon this should not be an exception, it should be the rule.

  • America, it is time we broke free of our vicious cycle and started fresh. Not with blood or bullets, but with real hope and real change. We need new politics for this new frontier we have found ourselves in. Not one of land, but one of science and technology one of progress.

    The New Dream for America is equality and an ever forward vision for a better future for the coming generations. Lets stop talking about it and lets work together and make it happen.
